Abstract
A data management system for managing data acquired during medical procedures is disclosed. The data management system may include a centralized database and/or a plurality of databases storing procedure records. Each of the procedure records comprises data acquired by a data acquisition system during a medical procedure performed on a specific patient. The data management system enables users to access, search and perform analytics on data in the databases. The system may further include a blockchain configured to render immutable the data in the centralized database and databases. The data management system may include a centralized data access system enabling users to access the plurality of databases even when each of the databases are operated by different healthcare providers and when the procedure records in the databases are owned by the different owners. The data acquisition system may be part of a portable-surgical-system for performing surgery in the field.
